He was the selfless “gentle giant” who put others before himself even in death.

Jordan Davison died suddenly at his family home in Westerhope, Newcastle, in February from a suspected brain seizure at the age of just 17.

Knowing her son’s charitable nature and views on organ donation, grieving mum Janice took the heartbreaking decision to donate her son’s organs.

The devastated family have since been told the teenager’s generous gesture has saved three lives.

And just weeks on from his shock death, Jordan’s family have opened up about their loss and their pride at the 17-year-old’s brave decision to give the gift of life.

Older brother Adam said: “It’s as if he is away somewhere and we’re waiting for him to come back.

“We’re waiting for the door to open and for Jordan to come home. It’s still a feeling of disbelief.

“Jordan was just very happy and always laughing, he liked a little chuckle and was positive all the time.

“He was so unassuming, he didn’t brag about anything and he was so happy that everyone just took to him.

“We’re used to being with him every day - it’s still raw and painful. It’s literally heartbreaking.”

Mum Janice added: “He was a gentle giant. You wake up and it hits you again every morning.”

Twins Jordan and Lewis were born on September 27, 2000, and the family moved to Westerhope shortly afterwards.

The inseparable pair went to St Mark’s Roman Catholic Primary School before moving up to St Cuthbert’s High School.

Film buff Jordan, who was a fan of the Marvel and Star Wars films, then moved on to an apprenticeship with Nissan where he was due to be fast-tracked into a scheme to become a multi-skilled maintenance technician.
